Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 38

Chapter 38
We need to come up with some sort of solution to the current situation .
No matter what, we need to prevent Noswell from attacking or I can’t hold back my bottled up rage anymore .
They still don’t buy even if it’s this cheap, It can’t be helped even if I further tamper with the price .
The Karlco family’s unexpectedly large influence and Noswell’s impersonal behavior were a disaster .
I didn’t think that they would blatantly threaten someone in public .
I need a different approach from another direction .
I mash the leaves of the incense leaf with my fingertips and put them into my own kissel .
Normally, one piece would be enough, but three pieces are thrust in and set on fire with magic .
“What’s the matter Brother?”
“I thought it would attract customers if I fire off a smoke . ”
I am particularly confident in the smell of the incense leaf that I created .
Now that he was drawing attention to himself with the power of the Blue Ortem, even a minor plan like this should have great effect .
It won’t be a decisive move, but it will shake things up first .
I will cause wind with magic, and control the smoke to pass through on the line in the middle .
A few people who have been influenced glanced here and began to move, and Noswell that saw that stopped walking .
As I thought, the current stopper is great but there is an effect . There is no negative effect . Keep it up .
If you keep the foundation strong, it will flow at once if the air changes .
Because of the other side’s poor handling, the lack of progress on the line is causing a lot of people to be irritated .
With a little opportunity, there will be a chance to break it down .
Another man steps out of line and comes toward us .
If one person collapses, the person who follows will appear .
However, the man stopped in his tracks as he looked in Noswell’s direction on the way .
We can’t go on like this .
I still want something afterwards to give me a boost .
I glanced at the Noswell’s stall .
“No-, Noswell-san … I’ll just inspect the enemy and…”
One of his followers Noppo, leaves the stall staggering while snorting .
Noswell quickly grabbed Noppo by the neck and pulled him back .
Alright, collapse, collapse .
However, as I thought it’s not enough .
The foundation should be sufficient enough . Just one more thing, I want an opportunity .
Just a few seconds . That alone should turn the tide a lot .
“Oh, here you are! Hey!”
I can hear Garia’s voice .
No, it’s not only Garia’s . Following him, the people that participated in my coming-of-age ceremony show up one after another .
My father and the Chief’s also there .
There are nearly twenty of them .
“Sell me that incense leaf!”
“I never thought I would see Abel at the Exchange Square . I thought you have no interest in this kind of thing . ”
“Why isn’t there a line? Don’t tell me you’re sold out, Hey!”
“You saved my share, right?”
The whole atmosphere has changed .
It’s hard to get out if there are only one or two people, but I think they thought that if there are enough people, they might be able to blend in .
Noswell walks out of the stall with a big stride .
“Oi! You all know what will happen…”
“Please be at ease! There’s more to come!”
I shouted loudly, and the line at the Noswell’s stall began to crumble .
Nearly one-fifth of them moved in one fell swoop .
Then, a follow-up appeared .
“Oi! Don’t, don’t fuck with me! Oi! I-, I’ll remember all your faces! I’ll report you all to father!”
If this many people flowed in, there would be nothing we could do about it .
There’s no way you can remember all their faces .
No one was listening anymore .
Noswell stood there beet red and stunned, being dragged back to his own side by the chibi .
“Amazing, you can get ten times the item with the same expense!”
“It’s not like they don’t even know the value, and the Chief’s magic ore was also banned . On top of that, I’m nervous, and I’m not making any progress at all . ”
More and more customers are drawn in .
Thinking about what happened earlier, it’s as if I’m dreaming .
In a daze, he called out to me, “Hurry up . ”
I hurriedly received the magic ore and handed over the incense leaf .
“Sell me one hundred bundles! No, two hundred!”
“Hey, raise it higher! I won’t be able to buy it!”
Certainly if they are bought by the hundred, they will be gone in an instant .
This time we only have about two thousand bundles .
I thought this would be enough, but there are many people here who have incense leaf as currency or assets .
Rather than changing the price, it’s better to put a limit on the number of pieces you can buy .
I want to make it as wide and shallow as possible .
”Excuse me, up to ten bundles per person only, please!
One exchange after another is completed .
If you don’t know the market price of what is brought, you can let the other side’s words pass .
We don’t want to protect the value of the original .
I didn’t pursue profits that far, but things were going well in that direction too .
One after another, meat, fruit, cloth, and pots are piled up behind them .
I also have a lot of rare metals that I wanted for alchemy .
We didn’t have enough space, so we hired a kid and bought about five more carpets .
I honestly can’t stop laughing . I can’t bring myself to go hunting for the rest of my life .
Just how do I bring it back?
“Noswell-san, it’s not good! Let’s lower the market price . A tenfold difference won’t do!”
Unusually, the Chibi follower comes out strong in Noswell .
“You- you, you’re telling me what to do! You Rietta family! “
“That’s not the point! If you keep this up, it’s going to be outrageous!”
“But… because… no matter what, you have to keep the value at this level… my father… my father said… If I mess with it, my father will be angry…”
“If it didn’t sell, it would be out of the question!”
“But… But… My father…”
Noswell is getting smaller as his followers yell at him .
Some things are just so rare .
Just to see his tearful face was worth the effort this time .
That ends it .
But anxiously, there was no sign of Noppo over there .
From the looks of it, his two cronies may be stronger opponents than Noswell .
If they are planning something, we have to be careful .
As soon as I said it, people started to smoke it around me .
Apparently, they couldn’t wait to smell it .
“Great, it’s not like that at all!”
“It’s like the things I’ve smoked before was leaf mold . ”
“I can’t smoke anything else anymore . I hope it’s cheap, though . ”
I’ve heard the reviews here and there, and more and more people are joining the queue .
The length of Noswell’s column and this one was reversed .
Those who stayed behind also seemed to be anxious about whether they should go here .
At this rate, this may not be enough of a number at all .
“Shibi, go and collect the stuff you’re drying . Let’s line up the carefully selected and repelled portions at a reduced price . ”
“I, I understand!”
When they saw our exchange and realized that there were not many left, the line of Noswell’s came down in a swoon .
Finally, there was no one left .
Noppo’s at the back of the line .
I thought I couldn’t see him, but he was lined up this way .
He was holding his own army’s incense leaf with a happy expression .
Don’t tell me you’re going to trade with that .
Oh, well .
It looks interesting so I’ll accept that exchange .
It’s terrible to betray that smile .
Well, in the market, do I have to give out one bundle of those and ten bundles of these?
As I smiled and continued to negotiate, I saw a man coming towards me along the line .
His age would be around 40 .
He had a high nose with a face of a sharp impression .
He walked quietly, but he seemed somehow intimidating .
He had snake-like eyes, and a haircut similar to Noswell’s .
Suddenly I had a bad feeling about it .
”I have free time, so I came to check it out . Well done, Noswell . Well, I guess it’s a good thing I made the leaves . However, I didn’t expect it to stretch this far . Hasn’t it become quite lively . ”
No doubt about it .
The head of the Karlco family, Noswell’s dad .
The boss has come out .
Noswell is just the dirty rich son but, this man is different .
The black rumors in this village are mostly connected to this man .
The chieftain also said that he had been done quite nicely .
There are probably a few conflicts that he’s involved in .
I can’t let my guard down .
Noswell’s father walked right up to me .
”Noswell, you’re not used to this sort of thing, but I’m relieved that things seem to be going well . What do you think? How does it feel to try it for the first time?
“… Excuse me, but i’m not Noswell?”
“Hm?”
Noswell’s father lowers his gaze and glares at me .
He pulls his glasses out of his pocket and stares at me .
Apparently his eyes are not very good .
He seemed to believe that Noswell was at the end of the procession .
“Did Noswell ask you to look after the store?”
“Noswell-san is over there . I’m Abel . ”
“… Abel?”
Noswell’s father turns his attention back to Noswell .
Noswell is now looking at the sky with dead eyes and his mouth is open .
Not a single customer lined up .
Noswell’s father, seeing this, seemed to have sensed the current situation and his face was distorted greatly .
He turns his gaze back to me .
“Abel?! Don’t tell me you’re the Abel of the Berek family?!”
Noswell’s father exclaims so with a bright red face .
Then he looked at Noswell again and let out a high-pitched laugh .
”Haa-hahahaha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
He claps his hands and laughs as he looks up to the heavens .
”Haa-ahahahaha! Haa-hah-haa! Oh, yeah, yeah! Hahahahahahahaa! Hee-hah-hah!
… He’s gradually becoming a hindrance to the negotiations, I wish he would just go somewhere .
As I was wondering if this was a disturbance, Noswell’s father’s expression changed again .
“Hahaha…… . . ”
Noswell’s father presses his own nose .
The blood was gushing out . He was so excited that he got a nosebleed .
Or rather, it was on my clothes for a bit . Great . Why do these two want to splash their bodily fluids on me?
Father Noswell’s hands were turning red as they went by .
And just like that, he fell to the spot with a bang like a puppet with a broken string .
“Father… . ? Fa-, Father!
Noswell’s scream echoed throughout the exchange square .
I’m sure it’s just anemia, but I’ll use healing magic for it just in case .
